ARLI$$ 1996-2001 The art of the sports Super Agent
Three Amigos! I like working with good people and having fun, with Greg Guellow and Ted Lewis how can you help but have fun and get a good job done!
This was taken up in Bronson Canyon in the Hollywood Hills.
Me, my crew, and our mascot "Binky" or were we her pets? Standing left to right, Rusty Davis, Robert Nelson, Greg Guellow, Ted Lewis, Paul ?, Me, John Farmer, "Binky in the center and ? below.
Love to do Mounts
Steve and Rob Ruiz (1st and 2nd ACs) check out my work. Spent a lot of time in the trenches with these two!
In the doorway are Myself and Tim Marks (Producer / Director) during the great Pop Corn scene. This is certainly one of those moments where "Tim" utters the classic line... "We cant be waiting 5 minutes every 5 minutes!" We loved Tim, a very fair and knowledgeable man who had a heart of gold once you got past the "Bark"
Timmy Phelps (Gaffer) and my BB at the time Greg Guellow watching the craft service guy put out the afternoon snacks.
Motley Crew of set Dressers and one camera operator badly framed in lower left! On the far right is my favorite Set Dresser "JERRRRRRYYYY!!!! Where are they now!
Our loader and Binky, Greg checks the mount.
My Dolly grip for several seasons John Harmon and Rob Ruiz sit under a "Lenny" arm crane.
This was the infamous Bass fishing episode on Arliss. It was a very tough day for the grips as it fell to us to do all the boat wrangling and rigging. The wind was coming up at this point and got to the point later of foot tall white caps! This was all done at the lower lagoon at Castaic lake. Teddy holds a 4 by. I think there are still some sand bags down on the bottom.....
As a Key you have to wear a lot of hats, when they needed the "butcher paper" removed from the Green Screen I suggested using this.
Robert Wrul, Gina DeGirolamo (A cam Op) and 1st AC?
Linda Rocstah (1st AD) but Directing an episode here and Steve Confer (DP) check the shot.
Bass fishing episode on "ARLISS" was one of my favorites! lots of fun and challenging Grip work. Plus the show followed "Benny Hills" maxim, comedy works better with lots of pretty girls! Pat our boom man is keeping a stiff pole out on the right!
Jose and Barry Clint work the shiny boards for me on "Arliss". There awful happy doing this cause their target is the "behind" of the lady in the boat above! We had to take them and the equipment across lake "Sherwood" and land them in position.
John Farmer (Dolly Grip) and I (Key grip) find a barging at a Van Nuys car Wash! This was the day of the infamous carwash scene that almost resulted in Ted Lewis getting killed by an out of control carwash brush!
John Farmer with his back to camera runs a "Techno" for a roof scene out in Calabasas
